getting to Honey fest

By land or by sea, this year we encourage you to take public transportation to the Rockaway Boardwalk. Honey Fest 2017 is conveniently located a few blocks south of the new NYC Ferry stop. If you're taking the train, hop on the A and get off at Broad Channel, where you can transfer to the shuttle and get off at Beach 105th St.

bee marketplace

The boardwalk buzzes with activity as folks swarm around the booths where New York City beekeepers sell their hive products. Find everything from local and raw honey, bee pollen, wax goods, beauty products, hot sauces, and much more!

BEE MARKETPLACE

More than two dozen vendors will sample, sell, and share their bee- and honey-related products and services. From honey-sweetened beverages to beeswax cosmetics, educational demos to monofloral honeys from the Tri-State Area, there's something for everyone!

annual honey-tasting contest

Every year we invite you, the discerning New Yorker, to vote for the best NYC honey vintage. Prizes will be awarded to the beekeeper with the crowd favorite!

Costume contest

We will be hosting a costume contest for children and adults. Come dressed as a queen bee, mad bee scientist, or in whatever bee-themed costume your heart desires. There will be prizes for both children and adult participants!
